JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A relative of President Susilo Bambang Yudhonoyo was among four former central-bank officials convicted of corruption and sentenced to prison on Wednesday, in a further sign that Indonesia is taking action against graft.

Mr. Yudhoyono promised to clean up government since becoming the nation's first democratically elected president in 2004.
